Welcome to Oak Class 2025
Oka Class is a mixture of children from Year 5 and Year 6 who learn together first thing in the morning, for English lessons and every afternoon.
In the mornings we start the day with mental maths or quiet reading, followed by a short time of prayer before we split into separate year groups for Maths.
The rest of our morning and our afternoons are spent studying a variety of texts in English and exploring a range of subjects across the wider curriculum.
Autumn Term
In Science we will begin the term with a chemistry focus finding out about how mixtures and solutions.
In History we will be studying the Romans. We will find out about when and where the Romans lived. We will also look at how government, religious beliefs and science and technology developed during the Roman era.
